The Rhubarb Tavern are very pleased to present a one-off screening of British filmmaking legend Ken Loach's brand new film 'The Old Oak'. All proceeds from the event will go towards the Rhubarb's fundraising campaign. There will also be some yummy food available on the night (all included in the ticket price)!

A bit more about the film...

TJ Ballantyne is hanging on to his pub, The Old Oak, by his fingertips in a cash-strapped village in the North East. His predicament is further endangered when the pub becomes contested territory after the arrival of Syrian refugees who are placed in the village without any notice.

In an unlikely friendship TJ meets a curious young Syrian Yara (Ebla Mari) with her camera. Can they find a way for the two communities to understand each other?

Rumoured that this may be the final film that Loach will direct The Old Oak has been described as Loach's 'fierce final call for compassion and solidarity'.
